Chivalry of a Failed Knight	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Chivalry of a Failed Knight (落第騎士の英雄譚(キャバルリィ) Rakudai Kishi no Chivalry) is an ongoing 2013 light novel written by Riku Misora and illustrated by Won, published by SB Creative under the "GA Bunko" imprint. It is also adopted into a 2014-2017 manga series illustrated by Megumi Soramichi for Square Enix's Gangan Online anthology, as well as an anime directed by Shin Oonuma and Jin Tamamura under SILVER LINK. as part of the Fall 2015 Anime season, with available overseas viewing in some countries such as the United States on Hulu.In a time and place where one's soul can be morphed into a weapon, there are modern-day magicians called mage-knights. Although our hero Ikki Kurogane is a student at one such training institute, Hagun Academy, he has no particular talent in magic and is labeled the "Worst One". Getting way less-than-average marks, he was forced to repeat a year. But with the arrival of a new director, Kurono Shinguji, a new rule was also created: knights whose abilities are compatible, as decided by the board, must share rooms and attend practice and training together throughout their school years to tap into their potential. It is a rule to implement the absolute verdict of ability.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Ikki's roommate, Stella Vermillion, turns out to be a princess of a European country, as well as a Rank-A knight, the type of genius in magic who only appears once a decade. When Ikki walked in on her while she was changing her clothes, it caused a huge misunderstanding, which eventually ended up in a duel between the two of them. The punishment for the loser is eternal submission to the winner.Forced to live in the same room and practice magic together throughout all their school years, how will Stella and Ikki's relationship evolve?

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_1440584e	comment	When Ayase Ayatsuji is scheduled to have a tournament sword fight with Ikki, she first tricks Ikki into using his Ittou Shura (a technique he can only use once a day due to Heroic RRoD) before the match, then litters the battlefield with dozens of magical traps (you're allowed to use traps, but you have to set them up during the match, not before it). Ikki actually reports her cheating before the match, but persuades them to let the match continue as he wanted to prove a point. Ayase ultimately loses because her guilt dulled her reflexes and skills.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_1f799027	comment	Obstructive Bureaucrat: Ikki's family put pressure on Hagun Academy to keep him from graduating. This resulted in new rules that require students to have a certain ranking in order to take classes, keeping Ikki from getting units and passing his first year. Luckily, Kurono Shinguji became director and fired the obstructive staff. Turns out to be the real reason they are trying to stop Ikki. They want Ikki to fail as an example. They don't want other F-Ranked to try to succeed as unlike Ikki, they will fail causing unrest in the mage-knight system. Too bad for them that, despite everything thrown his way, Ikki still succeeds.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_2285ca79	comment	Random Power Ranking: Blazers are given letter ranks for multiple attributes along with an overall rank. However, due to the uniqueness and applications of everyone's Noble Arts, these rankings don't automatically decide the outcome of a fight, and indeed, often mislead characters to believe they are better matched to another person in combat. While Ikki managed to beat A-ranked Stella fairly easily, some lower ranked foes gave him more trouble due to how their abilities matched up better against his pure melee style.

Once Ikki manages to counter him completely however, he then turns into a complete coward, and begs for his life. Ikki stops his blade in front of Kirihara's nose, just enough to cause light bleeding, but Kirihara passes out in fright, and loses the fight to him.

They consistently impose more and more strict rules on Ikki to keep him down, especially once he starts succeeding.

It creates a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy for the family, as they wanted to prove an F-rank knight could never succeed. The fact that Ikki succeeded in spite of not only being F-ranked but with even more restrictions put in his way ended up working against the family and putting their plans in trouble.

He asked his teacher, Oreki, to overlook Ayase's illegal strategy of placing traps in the arena before the match starts, since he wants to teach her why her mindset is wrong rather than simply reporting her and letting her learn nothing.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_50b05d30	comment	Disproportionate Retribution: The terrorist Blazer Supremacist group tried to kill a child for getting the clothes of a single member dirty with an ice cream cone, after that member pistol whipped his mother. Ikki showed the leader of that cell how it feels on the receiving end by chopping off his hands as punishment for making Stella walk around in her underwear, using the child's life "as an incentive." Granted, chopping off his hands was the only way available to Ikki to prevent the leader's Attack Reflector from activating, but given a choice, Ikki would have gone much further to avenge Stella's humiliation. Ikki goes against his father's orders and attends Hagun Academy in order to become a Blazer. The Kurogane clan's response is to pressure the school into not letting him take classes and have Shizuya Kirihara ridicule him. When Kurono becomes the academy's director and makes the system fairer for Ikki, the clan then starts a smear campaign against Ikki, puts him through a torturous hearing, and poisons him so he'll die in his duel with Toka, but it doesn't work out. Itsuki claims that this is all for the sake of preventing Ikki's underdog victories from giving low rank Blazers false hope in the Hard Work Fallacy, but actively sabotaging Ikki is going too far considering that the latter isn't actually doing anything wrong.

The Kurogane clan's response is to pressure the school into not letting him take classes and have Shizuya Kirihara ridicule him. When Kurono becomes the academy's director and makes the system fairer for Ikki, the clan then starts a smear campaign against Ikki, puts him through a torturous hearing, and poisons him so he'll die in his duel with Toka, but it doesn't work out. Itsuki claims that this is all for the sake of preventing Ikki's underdog victories from giving low rank Blazers false hope in the Hard Work Fallacy, but actively sabotaging Ikki is going too far considering that the latter isn't actually doing anything wrong.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_6ec4232f	comment	Casting Gag: As with Bladedance of Elementalers, Shizuka Ishigami voices a swordswoman. Nao Tōyama previously voiced a younger sister of the main protagonist in Cross Ange. Hilariously enough, the anime adaptation uses six voice actors from The Asterisk War, albeit in different roles. Nao Tōyama, Claudia Enfield's voice actress, voices Shizuku Kurogane; Shintarō Asanuma, who voiced Wernher, is voicing Nagi Arisuin; Yuu Kobayashi, Hilda Jane Rowlands's VA in Asterisk, voiced Ayase Ayatsuji; M·A·O, Yosuga Migahara's VA, voices Renren Tomaru; Chinatsu Akasaki, Ernesta Kuhne's voice actress, provides the voices of the Tsukuyomi Sisters; while Juri Kimura, Zhao Hufeng's VA, provide minor roles. The English dub mostly avoids this, as the dubs for both series were recorded in different states (Chivalry in Texas and Asterisk War in L.A.), however Chris Patton (due to working as a bi-coastal actor) voices both Nagi Arisuin in Chivalry and Jolbert in Asterisk War.

When F-Rank swordsman Ikki Kurogane makes it to the finals of the tournament, he's abducted by the villains, poisoned, tortured, and sleep-deprived for days. They don't release him from jail until the day of the finals, with just enough time for him to run to the stadium before the match is due to start. While his opponent in the finals wasn't a villain and wasn't part of the scheme, the actual villains did everything in their power short of killing Ikki to ensure he would lose, because they couldn't tolerate an F-Rank swordsman (the lowest rank possible) winning such an important competition, and intended to make a public example of him.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_72d30083	comment	Cheaters Never Prosper: The ruffian known as Shizuya Kirihara attempts to cripple Ikki Kurogane in their duel using his invisibility, only for the latter to gain a Heroic Second Wind and then attacks Kirihara in a Curb-Stomp Battle. When Ayase Ayatsuji is scheduled to have a tournament sword fight with Ikki, she first tricks Ikki into using his Ittou Shura (a technique he can only use once a day due to Heroic RRoD) before the match, then litters the battlefield with dozens of magical traps (you're allowed to use traps, but you have to set them up during the match, not before it). Ikki actually reports her cheating before the match, but persuades them to let the match continue as he wanted to prove a point. Ayase ultimately loses because her guilt dulled her reflexes and skills. The Kurogane clan repeatedly tried to sabotage Ikki's matches with tactics like imprisoning and poisoning him shortly before the matches, but he would overcome this and win anyway. Shizuku tries this immediately before her match with Amane due to the nature of the latter's Noble Arts. The result: Amane proceeds to torture her and give the mental equivalent of rape, by outing Shizuku's sexual feelings for Ikki in the worst possible light... publicly. Shizuku's LIFE is only saved by a timely Big Damn Heroes moment on the part of her rival.

That said, Shizuku's behavior clearly cross the line of normal brother-sister relations, causing quite a few raised eyebrows around campus.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_812ee32b	comment	Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: This is referenced in volume 2. Ikki states many students do not train physically as its much easier to get stronger by training with their noble art instead. In practice, the strongest Blazers tend to practice in both martial arts and Noble Arts. In comparison to Ikki, Stella is the Quadratic Wizard. Although she was born with a powerful ability, it took a considerable amount of training to master it. However, the ability alone makes her one of the most powerful characters in the setting, coupled with her own improving swordsmanship skill. While Ikki's swordsmanship ability makes him formidable, his lack of magic power makes it difficult to keep up in other areas. Therefore, he struggles in areas that would be easier for Stella. Shizuku is noted to have avoided martial arts in defiance of her family's abusing Ikki, instead training her mana control to rank-A proportions. This proves to be something of a double-edged sword.

The Japanese do have a reputation for covering up things like this to protect their image to the point of absurdity, if you know your World War II history. Yui Tatara's entire family would be in maximum security prison, possibly in solitary confinement, for felonious child abuse and endangerment because their "family tradition" requires their children to be raised as psychotic assassins by having their lives under constant threat since the age of three.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_9eb11fac	comment	Weak, but Skilled: Ikki.

Explanation To clarify, Blazers emit Mana on a subconscious-level and can use it to form devastating attacks that usually bend the laws of nature or outright break it (for example, one character's Noble Art basically makes them a Time Master), Ikki lacks more than the bare minimum to be considered a Blazer. However, he's arguably the best swordsman in the school with decent physical strength when the setting follows Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards. To a lesser extent, there are also D and C ranked Blazers who can still fight effectively due to clever use of their Noble Art.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_ab031997	comment	Underdogs Never Lose: A discussed example with Kurono Shinguuji and Itsuki Kurogane. The former is fine with this trope because she believes that as long as a Blazer performs well, they'll be a boon to the academy and country regardless of their rank. The latter tries to subvert this trope with his belief that underdog victories will give false hope to low ranking Blazers, who will disrupt the order of the Blazer system with their useless effort. It's also Itsuki's reason for constantly keeping Ikki down, and always Moving the Goalposts with response to his graduation. It's because Itsuki is so committed to preserving the way things are that he'll sabotage his own son just to prove it.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_ad042153	comment	Defeating the Cheating Opponent: Ayane sets up a rather intricate minefield with her Noble Art and forces Ikki to exhaust Ittou Shura before the match starts. She's caught and is about to be disqualified, because setting up traps during a fight is allowed, but not before a fight. Despite this, Ikki insists the match go on, and Ayane ends up losing. Not because her cheating got exposed, but because she's distracted from fighting properly.

Of course, they completely ignore Ouma Kurogane's membership in Akatsuki, a front for Rebellion, because they're in on Prime Minister Tsukikage's plans to increase their own influence. Despite having supposedly well-intentioned reasons for doing this, their actions still come off as paranoid.

To accomplish this, the committee resorts to all kinds of unethical means, such as creating false charges, poisoning Ikki, wearing down his stamina with a prolonged Kangaroo Court, and setting him up to fight the strongest student in his school when he's already near death.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_cc427069	comment	Hard Work Hardly Works: Played with when it comes to both protagonists. While Ikki works extremely hard in swordsmanship and reading his opponent, his attacks can be tanked by a lot of higher ranked Blazers and those Blazers will also train hard. He has to use Ittou Shura to stand a chance, which most Blazers would never use due to the extreme fatigue. In this case, Ikki has to make up the difference with hard work, risks no one else would take, and determination. Despite appearing to be a genius to everyone, Stella actually had a difficult time becoming a Blazer due to her initially poor control of her power, to the point where training was always physically harmful. Despite that, she trained her control stat to B+ and trained her swordsmanship to the point where even Ikki is impressed. So while she was indeed born with a lot of power, she still needed more training than most people to even make use of it.

Then there's the story of Yui Karata, one of the "student" assassins of Rebellion/Akatsuki. To raise her into an assassin, her family's been actively trying to kill her since the age of three.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight / int_d8573ef9	comment	Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Combined with Screw the Rules, I Make Them! in the Kurogane family's case. They pressure Hagun to implement rules that keep lower-ranked knights like Ikki from taking any classes, since they believe Ikki's potential success could damage their reputation and upset the ranking system. When Kurono becomes director and overturns those rules, they use the Ethics Committee to start a smear campaign against Ikki and poison him but their plans fail. Ikki usually follows rules regardless if they put him at a disadvantage, but he has one instance of this combined with Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!, especially when he screws a rule that would have given him an advantage for once. He asked his teacher, Oreki, to overlook Ayase's illegal strategy of placing traps in the arena before the match starts, since he wants to teach her why her mindset is wrong rather than simply reporting her and letting her learn nothing.
